PRESS RELEASE

Retail Pro International tighten its strategic partnership by offering an AppCard Integrated Customer Retention services with Retail Pro® point of sale solutions family

New Orleans, October 17th 2014 – Today at the Retail Pro Conference 2014, Retail Pro International, a leading provider of Point of Sale (POS) and retail management solutions, and AppCard, a developer of a next-generation customer Retention and Loyalty platform, announced the availability of a fully integrated solution AppCard customer loyalty service with Retail Pro® POS solutions family.  Until today, customer engagement was a phrase echoed by brands and retailers in their quest of attracting and retaining customers. Today, retailers seek to know their customers and engage each one with personalized offers, rewards and free gifts, accessible across all customers’ touch points.  Paired with any Retail Pro® 8 and Retail Pro® 9 software, AppCard provides a powerful, effective cloud-based customer retention platform that changes the way brick and mortar retailers communicate with and market to their shoppers, at their preferred touch point with personalized offers to ensure repeat purchases.

Retail Pro Prism™ offers any retailer the benefit of the proven, time-honored Retail Pro® software that hinges on agility, data security and accuracy. However, it also explores pivotal new attributes such as: thin-client architecture, reduced maintenance and acquisition costs, and, most importantly, ability to take a platform-agnostic approach and operate on mobile and desktop POS hardware of choice with equal flexibility. Retail Pro POS brings a coherent approach to operations enabling retailers to deliver better customer service. Addition of AppCard’s cloud-based retention platform to the retailer’s operations running on Retail Pro® provides real-time reports, deep analytics, and business intelligence that enable merchants to engage each customer with personalized offers that enhance loyalty and drive repeat business. Through the AppCard smartphone app or Web account, shoppers receive personalized offers, earn rewards and free gifts, and get live digital receipts.

”Our customers are focused on success, and today that means growth of consumer relationships by the virtue of delivering consistently exceptional shopping experiences” said Alexandra Frith, Director of Marketing at Retail Pro International. “Addition of the AppCard loyalty solution to the foundation of Retail Pro software gives retailers on-demand information about the performance of their loyalty programs, so near-real-time tailoring of offers and campaigns can guide the business to greater efficiency and profits.”

“We are excited of the new integrated solution and of this long lasting partnership. It’s not just that we have reached this important day” said Yair Goldfinger, CEO and Co-founder of AppCard. “The Retail Pro/AppCard combination provides Retail Pro’s business parents, large and small retailers with complete and seamless way to implement a loyalty program that enhances the shopping experience, increases customer retention and optimize revenue.”
